Surprisingly good games you bought because they were cheap

Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo. I've bought better games for the same price or less, but those were all games I knew ahead of time were good, and just got really lucky with. This one I picked up because I liked the license and because it cost me all of $2 in Gamestop, and I was pleasantly surprised with a solid mecha game. I played through the whole thing in about two days, which is a rarity for me; I rarely beat anything I buy, unless it's ridiculously short or really good. This one was both.
Note: "ridiculously short" here means "the perfect length for someone with an attention span like mine." It also means below 10 hours, preferably below 6.

I got Warhammer 40000: Dawn of war for free when I bought Company of heroes. An I have played it trough several times. I later bought a box set with Dawn of war, Winter assault, Dark Crusade and Soulstorm for a relatively low price. And I have thoroughly enjoyed them all. I'll admit that in many aspects they are not especially "Good" but they sure as hell are fun.
Oh and yes, I stumbled upon Age of Wonder 2 a long time ago on a ridiculously low price. Thought it would be crap but I still play it today to my everlasting enjoyment.
Hitman Blood Money. I had ignored the Hitman series since the beginning, but heard good things about Blood Money, so when I saw it cheap I thought I'd give it a shot. Was exceedingly surprised by how much replay value it had, and how much fun it was to be a sneaky bloodthirsty bastard.
Fable 2, Oblivion GOTY edition, Metal Arms, Chibi-Robo, Resident Evil 4.
I'm happy Gamestop is cutting down prices on older games, but still, it seems like they cut good deals like that out of a tremendous fear of no costumers or sells.
I metaphorically spat out water in suprise when I learned Mass Effect 2 is worth $45, what's Gamestop doing with the huge loads of cash they got? renting out trailer parks?

Second Sight for three dollars, and Freedom Fighters for seven.
Both are amazing games. Top ten in the PS2, top 100 ever.
EDIT: 1600 hundred, yay!

Painkiller, found it for like 10$ (games are about twice as cheap in Norway as other places, new games go for 100$ a pop)
Project Sylpheed for the 360, the one time that Square Enix got into space ship shooters. A fun, gorgeous game but its one short little blighter.
Mass Effect. I went in to buy Bioshock and the used copy cost much less than I thought, so I picked up Mass Effect as well with the extra money.
